October 24, 2013

Low Library Columbia University 8-11-06

The workshop is now over. Slides for the talks are available through the links in the schedule below.

SANE 2013, a one-day event gathering researchers and students in speech and audio from the Northeast of the American continent, was held on Thursday October 24, 2013 at Columbia University, in New York City.

A follow-up to SANE 2012 held in October at MERL in Cambridge, MA, this year's SANE was held in conjunction with the WASPAA workshop, held October 20-23 in upstate New York. Many WASPAA attendees also attended SANE.

SANE 2013 featured invited speakers from the Northeast, as well as from the international community. It also featured a lively poster session during lunch time, open to both students and researchers.
